DescriptionAt Inoapps, a leading Oracle consulting and services organization, the HR Business Partner (HRBP) plays a key role in supporting our growing U.S. operations. Based in Houston, TX, this role partners closely with managers and employees across the country to provide practical, people-focused HR support that aligns with our fast-paced, client-driven environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an HR professional with 3–5 years of experience who is ready to take on a strategic yet hands-on role within a dynamic and collaborative business.
The HRBP serves as a trusted advisor to regional leaders, working to ensure that HR solutions are aligned with both business goals and our commitment to employee experience. With team members spread across multiple states, the HRBP must be comfortable navigating the nuances of multi-state employment practices while maintaining consistency in employee engagement, performance support, and development opportunities. Whether it's supporting project resourcing, managing employee relations, or contributing to onboarding and retention strategies, this role is about making sure our people—and, by extension, our Oracle delivery teams—are set up for success.
This role also collaborates with our global HR teams and Centers of Excellence to help implement scalable people programs that reflect Inoapps’ culture and values. From performance enablement to workforce planning, the HRBP will bring a proactive mindset and a strong foundation in core HR practices, along with a willingness to grow and adapt with the business. With Inoapps continuing to expand its U.S. footprint, this is a chance to help shape the future of our workforce while building your own HR expertise in a supportive, tech-focused environment.
